[edit] Features
F-Spot aims to have an interface that is simple to use, yet still supports advanced features such as tagging images and displaying and exporting EXIF and XMP metadata.
All major photographic formats are supported, including JPEG, PNG, TIFF, DNG and several vendor specific RAW formats (CR2, PEF, ORF, SRF, CRW, MRW and RAF). Other supported file types are GIF, SVG and PPM. However, as of 2006, the RAW formats were not editable with F-Spot.
Photos can be imported directly from the camera. The driver support is provided by libgphoto2.
Basic functions such as crop, rotate and resize are available alongside more advanced features such as red-eye removal and versioning. Colour adjustments are supported, including brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and temperature.
Photo CDs can be created by selecting multiple photographs and selecting "Export to CD" from the main menu.
Photos in the F-Spot library can be uploaded to a number of online photo storage sites. Flickr support is the most advertised feature, but F-Spot can also upload to Gallery or O.r.i.g.i.n.a.l powered websites. F-Spot also supports upload to Google Picasa Web Album.[1].
[edit] Technical information
F-Spot is designed for the GNOME desktop and is written in the C# programming language using Mono. The F-Spot project was started by Ettore Perazzoli and is now maintained by Larry Ewing.
